The Serbian Viktor Troicki was one of the players who tested positive for coronavirus in the controls that were made on the Adria Tour when Grigor Dimitrov revealed that he had been infected. Borna Coric and the organizer of those exhibitions held in Belgrade and Zadar, Novak Djokovic, also fell. Now, his compatriot has put a cloak on him with some statements to the medium of his country Sport Klub. “I think I contracted the Coronavirus in India in February,” says Troicki, a faithful number one teammate in the Davis Cup world.
“I had a feeling never experienced before: I stayed in bed for a week without eating anything, I was falling apart. Back then, the virus was not as prevalent as it is today, but it had all the symptoms. It was very bad, “explains 34-year-old world number 184.” On Tuesday I retired before the game against Sugita. After my departure, the finalists between Tuesday and Sunday finished their respective tables in the tournament while I was still in my hotel bed, “he continues.
The problem is that Troicki's wife was also infected in those 'crazy' days of the Adria Tour, where masks were not used or social distance was kept in the midst of a pandemic. And when talking about it, he enters into a certain contradiction: “My wife was not feeling well and was very tired. She had the coronavirus because she was really sick. If she hadn't tested positive, I probably wouldn't have tested because I wouldn't have suspected anything at all. I had no symptoms beyond loss of taste and smell. “
